UC San Diego Health's Center for Pain Medicine is dedicated to reducing and eliminating suffering in people with all forms of pain.

We are a nationally recognized multidisciplinary pain management center, drawing on the expertise of anesthesiology, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and psychiatry. Our hallmark is conservative multidisciplinary care offered in a compassionate and supportive environment.

We currently treat about 2,000 to 3,000 new patients each year and continue to expand our services to meet the region's need for multimodal, integrated pain management.
